    Huge Pest Problem & Unhelpful Management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The area is nice and quiet.
    Cons:
    There are multiple BIG roaches in the hallways and staircases of the building. After that they came into my apartment. I was getting monthly treatments for about 5 months, and they still were all in the apartment and the staircases. The building has a serious problem and are in denial about how big the issue is and how out of hand it is for management to control. They made me think It was not an issue to see the amount I did in my apartment. I shouldn't be seeing any in a place that I call home and sleep at night. The management office was always rude when calling for complaints and was of no help when I had to abruptly end the lease because the issue became so bad. There are also rats in the building. Please don't consider living here unless you want to deal with these issues as well as building management that will degrade you for wanting a clean place to live.
    Advice to owner:
    Adress the issue of pests you have in your building and do not make tenants feel bad about choosing to not habitate in the conditions

    Good place to live
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nice building, well maintained
    Cons:
    It’s a pre war so the winter heat is intense

    Decent place to live
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Super responsive management, tackled all maintenance requests within a couple of hours.

    Staff on the premise 24/7 is helpful if you lock yourself out!

    I literally never heard any of my neighbors

    Apartments are clean, appliances are newer and work well

    Great water pressure/ample hot water

    All utilities except wifi are included
    Cons:
    GARBAGE COURTYARD they store the garbage in the courtyard between 510 and 508 and literal mountains of garbage piles on top of the first floor windows. It has to be a health and fire code violation, but they continue to do it.

    I found a five cockroaches in the apartment over the course of 1.5 years. 4/5 were dead when I found them. Pest control comes to the property once a week on wednesdays
    Advice to owner:
    Stop storing mountains of garbage in the courtyard. It’s gross and a fire code violation.

    Not worth it
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Big rooms, rent stabilized.
    Cons:
    Had recurring mouse problems and each time wasn’t fixed. And when I mentioned there was a cockroach they told me it wasn’t their problem to fix. Additionally not very responsive.
